Shortly after I started online in '97 I had a multitude of messangers/chat tools on my computer.

Some people used ICQ, some AIM, some Yahoo. Some IRC. And so it is today. At work and in private context.

I feel we have come full circle in the 20 or so years.

Now I have Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, FB Messenger, Slack, SMS, Google Hangouts, MS Teams on my mobile phone.

Not to forget that some use Instagram and some LinkedIn to communicate.

Nowadays I need to have a mapping table of whom to contact via which channel/app.

Hmm... yes. Yes I suppose that is indeed correct. I agree.

> Ok, so here is my proof that the "tier 1" networks are over charging: if Backblaze routes a packet over the "tier 1" network is comes down to about 2/10ths of 1 penny per GByte. That's $0.002/GByte.

That roughly matches the information I've been able to find when looking into transit pricing.

And then AWS/Azure/GCP gouge you to an absolutely ridiculous extent even beyond that.
I would believe that 8k via an additional request would harm performance more than to inline it.

But haven't tested that yet.
Agree with all that. And there’s also charging at work, for some people.

And some people live a block or less from a free charger so no waiting around really.
Looks like they were voting on senators in 96, passed a measure in 98, and had their first all mail vote in 2000.

Its mostly equipment and design. The fab has to be extraordinarily well-protected against seismic disturbance, and the equipment is highly, highly automated. This will produce jobs, of course, and high paying ones at that, but it won't be a "game changer" for the state. That city, possibly.

EDIT: Article says 1,600 for the fab when its at full capacity and "thousands indirectly", which of course means restaurants and services nearby.

Looks like its going to be built north of Peoria, which puts it near Glendale, Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, etc. This'll probably add jobs worth about $100,000,000 - $150,000,000 a year. Somewhere in that neighborhood. The support-based jobs probably $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. Adds another $8.5 to $28 million a year in tax revenues for the state and cities.
I agree, but when it came to bullying the anti bullying laws apparently didn't cover online bullying which didn't really make sense to me.

So I assume that this is a case of the person in the drivers seat must have a drivers license, but there is no law saying how much of the driving they must do.
Can someone please describe a scenario where an alert driver in a FSD Tesla would be allowed to blame the vehicle for the accident? Every Tesla + Autopilot accident I’ve read about has been blamed on driver error. This “heads I win, tails you lose” approach is disingenuous at best.
At great prices too-- it's certainly one of the things I miss about living in mountain view.
Public internet exchanges are huge in Europe, you can basically reach every network in Europe by connecting to a few large exchanges for a fraction of what you'd pay for tier 1 transit (granted, you still probably need it to reach some eyeballs). I wish we'd see the same concept pop up in the US, as these exchanges are definitely not as popular there.

I understand why grid-tied systems are built this way, but from an engineering standpoint this is really inefficient. Converting from DC to AC and back to DC, for no reason. In fact, most solar controllers are already designed to use and charge batteries.

It doesn't help that most car manufacturers use locked battery charging protocols that don't allow you to easily change this process.

W.r.t. vitamin D I was referring to supplementation to prevent deficiency in the first place, not to administering shots as treatment to desperately try and get the levels back up once an infection reaches an advanced state.

I find any "the required dose for in vitro neutralization is too high" reasoning to be dubious for the simple reason that we are not trying to battle the virus in vitro.

I don't really feel any cognitive dissonance in observing that the same TPTB (if you prefer that term to "they") which clearly strongly desires that everyone gets a jab is not necessarily all that competent at running the administration and logistics side, particularly not on the enormously compressed timescales which have characterized Operation Warp Speed.

Japan used to be included in the usual lists of "here's how it's done" countries until they had some relatively significant community spread this winter. New Zealand has been in their summer but just reported their first case of community spread in months as their autumn gets underway -- being an easily isolated island I imagine they might have more success keeping things under control, but if Covid goes endemic I don't expect lockdowns to halt it in its tracks there any better than they have in the US or Europe. I don't buy China's numbers given that they have laughably reported a single Covid-19 death for a country of 1.4B people in the last 8 months, and find including them on a list characterized by "minimal invasion of peoples' freedom" bizarre.
The first was discussing mining.

The second is saying not literally every user, similar to the third. (and in fact said it would be best to keep things as small as possible for as long as possible!)

The last was in a message thread that discussed using payment channels.

So I do not agree with your claim that they unambiguously supported your position, moreover they were made much earlier-- before there was much practical experience. I already pointed out his last comment on the subject...
Follow the 'unicorn' startups and you will find all of the origin's for buzzwords.

SPACs have been around for a long time, also they were considered a junk method of going public due to the nature of SPACs. It's the fact that a few startups managed to IPO with solid results and now it's flavour of the month. It's madness to see and I learned a new word because of it 'cargo cult management'.

Ya once I’m vaccinated, I’m done. The health officials have lied “for the greater good” for too long. CDC lied saying masks are not useful when they wanted to conserve

I don't think I can excuse abandoning patients, but not all caregivers are young and healthy; so some of them would have reason to fear for their safety, or the safety of those they live with, or not want to spread disease among their patients.

Only for a while. Anywhere from 2 months to 2 years depending on who you ask, and severity of disease - 3 to 7 months for most people.

It's Z, the traditional undo key in Sokoban-likes. More specifically, the key where Z would physically be on a Qwerty keyboard, regardless of what keyboard layout you have actually selected. Same goes for [R]eset.

Was almost surprised that a little web game gets this right when many native apps don't. I just checked the last three Sokoban-likes I played (Stephen's Sausage Roll, Baba Is You, A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build) and they all follow the currently active layout. Which admittedly is way better than the really annoying games that memorise the layout that's selected when you launch them and have to be completely restarted if it wasn't the one you wanted.

> Tesla has offered access to their superchargers, but legacy car companies haven’t taken them up on the offer

Probably because Tesla demanded something that they knew other manufacturers won't give them.

They pulled the same PR stunt when they offered their pretty limited patent pool in exchange for all patents of the partaking manufacturers. Nobody wanted to take part because as a result Tesla would have had access to all patents while the others would only have had access to Tesla's patents. A pretty bad deal for everybody except Tesla.
At some point, we have to let these people choose. You can only protect people from themselves to a certain degree

Once the sane ones are vaccinated, open everything up and let nature take care of the dumb ones. If you insist on drinking gasoline, good luck
But it's not uncommon for people to have at least a gallon of gas stored in a typical suburban home. That's 20-30 miles of emergency travel if needed. I don't think most people can easily store enough electricity to give them 20-30 miles of EV range. Maybe that's possible with a powerwall type setup?

I'd be happy to pick up a cheap(<$15k) EV for work commutes(range of 30 miles is fine), but it would be supplementing my gas vehicle(hybrid or conventional).

The math may change as gas prices spike over the next year. I think that will really drive EV adoption. Time will tell though. So far, I see EVs appealing to a certain type of consumer(pro-technology and/or affluent).
You're probably glad that you had the basics in place and made regular back ups of your data. Hopefully you didn't follow the "it's in the cloud so I don't need to backup" philosophy.
Lockdowns, social distancing and masking – done consistently – do work. Even the half-measures lockdowns the US has gone through has stopped the entire medical system from collapsing, and at times it has been very close. In NYC in the first wave, it did.

But that isn't what has happened in the US, largely for political reasons.

There are no good options, only less worse ones, and aggressive lockdowns have got Australia, for example, back to work. The cumulative cost of the US's failure to grasp the nettle and just shut everything down for two months properly back last March is enormous.
'Global sales' I hope everyone understands in China it is very hard to get a licence plate, the government allows you to get a licence plate if you buy a heavily subsidised electric car. The aim is to stimulate demand to develop an industry. Large cities also banned motorbikes and scooters, with the same aim.

This is no way market driven demand, BYD is a very interesting company to look into. It is my understanding that Warren buffet has a large share in this company.

My believe is China sees oil dependence as a long term strategic weakness. In the event of a navel blockade it will be much harder for them to get the oil they need to run the economy. If a large part of the consumer sector is driven by electric powered by local sources (coal, hydro, nuclear) they can keep the logistic channels open. As a side benefit they get to fund a sector hoping to have the same success as they did with solar panels.

The article might have pointed this out but it was paid past a certain point on my device.
I also don't use cruise control. Not because I don't trust it, but I don't trust myself to react as quickly with it on. If my "gas foot" rests, it will take longer for it to hit the brake if needed, than if I engage continuously while driving. No scientific proof for this, except my own perception of my own attention.
Will it be possible for the Japanese EUV equipment makers to export to China?

(The US has effectively prevented European exporters of chip making equipment to sell EUV equipment to Chinese companies as the equipment contains "American IP". Getting around this would be a massive oppurtunity for a Japanese (or an European) equipment maker.)
> Is that to watch Japanese anime without subtitles?

20-30 years ago, Japan was an ascendant technological nation in which Americans were very interested. Japan had several dominant consumer brands and was considered an AI pioneer.

But Japan lost its way when transitioning from pre-Internet hardware products to "software with hardware."

So today the interest is probably about reading anime subtitles, or having a Japanese gf.

I studied Japanese in SV at the Jetro-related classes, and worked in Japan briefly.

https://www.jetro.go.jp/usa/topics/jetro-connects-japanese-s...

What's interesting is that although Japanese non-work culture is roughly opposite that of the West in many ways, it seems we share a "Protestant-like" or at least secular work ethic that is results-driven.

You can see that in WW2 - the Japanese Navy was able to build itself into a world power that was briefly equal to the US Navy, and the Battle of the Coral Sea was roughly a draw.

Where the cultural values differed was at the very top of leadership, and ultimately the US had aggressive, independent naval commanders, and Japan had Yamamoto (a rebel who couldn't communicate his plans effectively to traditionalists) and Admiral Nagumo (a traditional, hesitant commander who was both inflexible and unlucky - he refused to do a third wave at Pearl Harbor, and he thought the Battle of Midway was primarily intended to capture Midway!)

When there's enough people vaccinated for herd immunity so there isn't community spread.

Sadly it didn't have to be this bad. Compare the US to New Zealand.
Not much reason to believe vaccination rollout will be exponential. Maybe quadratic.
If you're the kind of person whose phone frequently runs out of battery or someone who moves around in harsh climates, I'd skip the EV for now.

It's great that cleaner cars are getting adopted faster. The absolute number gap is still very big, the infrastructure challenges are also very big (remember BetterPlace?) and current optimism is very irrational.
The majority of sold cars are electric in Norway. Above 60 in October
The number of people in the US interested in getting vaccinated is very high, especially compared to Europe where it’s something like 20% in France.
It depends. If you can charge at home or work it has been more convenient for many years.

> people would still find it too if people's handles kept on changing.

Will they? Isn't it the same case with email? I used my University email when I was a student. I have a different company email for different jobs? Those that needed to communicate with me because of the job, I would give them my company email. When my work at company X ended, no one expected me to still message me at raphael@x.

The same with addresses from "email providers". They change less often, but it is still possible. My first account was probably at yahoo, but when gmail came up, I migrated, started to tell people my new address and auto forwarded any message that went to the old email.

"Well", that may be a lot of work to some people. To which the answer is "the only way to have absolute stability regarding your identity is if you own it". You can buy a domain a use a managed email service, you can have a domain and have a managed activitypub service provider.

I really don't get people's confusion over federation. It's just like email.
The security issues are disconcerting. And their attitude is not encouraging at all.

What are some decent alternatives to Backblaze?
I think it’s better UX and convenience on net today than a gas car and has been since the supercharger network was put in place.

Daily driving and charging at home is much better than filling up and paying for gas.

Trip supercharging adds 45min on a 300mi trip which is worth the trade off today for many.

If you’re making really long trips all the time, your trade off calculation will vary. Most are not.
Fair point, but I don't think Skype & 'mobile first' new generation chat apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal etc. belong to the same category.

> Most people probably can't remember the exact moment that Skype was no longer relevant.

Yes Skype was made available to smartphones too, but like many other 'mobile first' applications which replaced traditional desktop software Skype was pushed down by the chat apps.
Every company that uses Cadence, etc. has somebody on staff who can "handle" the license server "issues", whether in the US or overseas.

The difference is that in the US enough licenses are used to pay for the "average" number of users, while overseas it's zero.

And frankly, if the big EDA tools companies actually fixed and improved their software instead of milking it for decades, legit US clients would care more than they do now.

For those who haven't had the pleasure, most EDA products are like buying a boxed Windows in 2021 and they turn out to actually be Win 3.1 - no exaggeration.

Hah! I wonder if I too, could, for a couple hundred grand, make my own little fab using old processes. I wouldn't, but I like to know I could.
I don't agree with OP in that I think power reliability is a concern with EVs. However PGE does not handle power for SoCal. In SoCal you have San Diego Gas and Electric(SDGE), LA Dept. of Water and Power, Southern California Edison, and maybe others. PG&E, along with its numerous problems, is NorCal.

I lived in SoCal for 24 years and the only major(>3 hours) power outage I remember was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Southwest_blackout and IIRC it lasted less than a day. That said, a major seismic event could occur anywhere in CA and cause outages for much longer than that.
Waymo is quite a bit better than they were 10 years ago. It would be harder for a casual observer to note how much Waymo has improved in the past 4 or 5 years because the gains have been made largely at the statistical margins of performance.

It's easy to build a robot that can do one thing right, and that's all you need to get a cool demo. It's hard to build a robot that can deal with the many 1000s of things that can go wrong while attempting to do one thing right.
>Delta Chat is like Telegram or Whatsapp but without the tracking or central control.
